Going against conventional wisdom, we spent the day enduring brutally cold temps, falling mercury and gale force winds focusing exclusively on coons to illustrate how calling coons can serve as a great filler in those times when coyote calling just isn't worth your time. Bear in mind that when we started this morning between 8 and 8:30, the temps were right around 39. By noon, the thermometer had fallen to the mid-20's. By four o'clock when we were just about to call our last two coons of the day, the temp was right at 12-degrees with windchills sinking as low as -20 and the digital readout on my rear view mirror simply said "ICE". Ouch.
Throughout the day, the winds blew at a comfortable 35-40 mph, we had a full moon night before last and it has been lighting everything for the past several night - all night - and today was the last day of our 10-day firearms season. The odds were stacked against us, yet we were still able to turn what would have been a day for coyotes-only kind of callers to stay in where it was warm into a banner day for multi-species callers like us and ended up doing this...
Minaska Bandti M1 caller, Minaska coon sounds 87, 89, and 80 (mostly), twelve gauge shotguns shooting 3-inch #4 buckshot. Running or sitting, not much gets away inside thirty yards!
